    If a person put the correct amount of TWP on pine siding, would throwing water on it and seeing if it rolls off be a good way to tell? Thanks very much.

    On the comparisons page next to the 1500 Series it says 'Best!', but I've noticed that you almost exclusively recommend the 100 Series in the comments below. So when should the 1500 Series be used? If 100 can be used is it always recommended over the 1500 series?[/quote]
    Use the TWP 1500 in low VOC states, older decks, or when in full sun. Use the TWP 100 if in a high VOC state, and or the wood is newer.[/quote]


    Is the 100 better to use and will it last longer?[/quote]
    They last about the same. 100 penetrates better so it wears better. 1500 holds color a little longer. Both will need to be redone every 2 or 3 years on average.[/quote]


    2-3 years on vertical cedar siding?

    2-3 years on horizontals. Twice as long on verticals.

    The 5" brush I bought is too wide to dip into the one-gallon TWP can. I've got to stain tomorrow cuz it might rain next week and the siding is clean and bright. If I pour the gallon into a 5-gallon container, can I use the brush to wipe out the pigment that's left on the bottom of the can and then swish the pigmented brush around in the stain that's in the 5-galloner? Or something else? Many thanks.

    Yes that should work.

    Could a person prime and paint over cured TWP? If so, must the TWP be removed first?

    You would want to strip the TWP first.

    Which product would be best for our deck? It is pressure treated pine-25 years old. We live in Memphis, TN. It is a hot and humid climate with mild winters. We have a lot of shade. About half of the deck gets 3-4 hours of sun daily. We have a lot of mold or mildew-it looks green in some areas. There is also a lot of gray. We pressure wash and stain almost every year with semi-transparent. Many different products have been used in the past. We plan to use your stripper, pressure wash and brighten. I've read a lot of your information but I'm still uncertain which of your stains to use. Would you advise me? Thanks

    The TWP 100 Series would be your best option for this scenario.

    We live in the Pacific North West, lots of rain and snow.
    What is the best deck stain for our 8-9 years old pressure treated, unsealed and exposed pine deck?

    I am still somewhat confused as to what product to use to clean my deck. There is very little original stain (not yours) left on the surface. Most of the color left is on the railing balusters. I have already cleaned with a deck cleaner (Olympic) with mixed results. There is NO mold, mildew or graying of the wood. It appears clean, but somewhat blotchy because of residual stain. I am going to use your 1500 on this project. Should I use your restore kit OR the safety strip. I might also mention that there are flowers, shrubs, etc. close to the deck that I do not want to compromise.

    It should come off before using the TWP. Shoot for 95% removal. If you still need to get more off, then use the Restore A Deck Stripper for the prep and pressure washing. Brighten wood when done.

    I built a house last year with cedar accents (columns and beams in the peaks)and also have 7 cedar steps at 8 foot wide and handrail going to a patio. it has grayed slightly and I would like to restore the natural color and protect it. the clear states it does not prevent discoloring so what do you recommend?

    Prep first with the Gemini Restore Kit and stain with any of the TWP colors that you like. You have to color in your stain for UV protection.
